[R-SIG-Mac] Dashed line not evenly separated

[Zhang, Jialin]

Yes, thank you John for the observation. Your code shows the same behavior on my Intel Mac as well.

Could anyone help make it look normal? Thanks!

Dear Jialin Zhang and Dan,

You can simplify the example to

   plot(log10(1:1e4), lty = 2, type="l")

and observe the same behaviour -- in my case on an M1 Mac.

Best,
  John
